Despite all the talk of innings limits and restrictions in 2015, Matt Harvey powered through and looked strong considering his absence due to Tommy John surgery two seasons ago. He wasn't quite as dominant as he was in 2013, but that would be asking a lot of a pitcher coming back from such a long layoff. Harvey finished his comeback campaign with a 2.71 ERA, 1.019 WHIP, 13 wins, eight losses, and an 8.9 K per nine. The only red flag here, and I'm nitpicking, is the fact that he threw over 200 innings when you include the playoffs. While that total is not ideal, Harvey did get a full 18 months of recovery. While he struggled with control in some starts, his walk rate was actually not far off from his 2013 season. In 2013 Harvey posted a 1.6 BB/9 ratio, and in 2015 it was still only a 1.76. His FIP went up from 2.01 to 3.05, but his fastball velocity remained elite at 95.9 mph on average. There's obviously some degree of injury risk here, but given the depth of the Mets' rotation and their improved offense, I think Harvey has a good chance to return to his 2013 level of dominance.
Will Matt Harvey Continue his Dominance as The Dark Knight?
